If it was in the original world line, in the El-Melloi classroom, which had just recovered a little after being on the verge of collapse after experiencing the Sorrow of Kenneth, Renis would never dare to challenge the branch of Baru Yereta, an old family and one of the three great noble families.
Because of lack of strength.
It is already very difficult to survive in the infighting between factions and the intrigues between families. There is really no confidence to be fearless. When encountering any incident, the first reaction is to keep things quiet, be patient, and avoid trouble. Unless you have the right time, place, and people, you will not consider counterattack.
But now it was different. The current El-Melloi classroom had long since gotten rid of the storm, and its foundation was very solid and deep. Even the twelve lords did not dare to underestimate El-Melloi, let alone a mere Izeluma? Not to mention that, except for Waver himself, all the people accompanying him this time were high-end fighters in the classroom, and it would not be difficult to flatten the Izeluma family.
Before Weber came, because she was the first suspect of murder, she could only swallow her anger. When Weber showed up, the famous "Forensic Eye" of the Clock Tower exposed her flaws and cleared her of suspicion, Lanis had no more worries.
Bailon's previous threats made her realize that even if she remained neutral, she didn't just stay out of it. It was equally important to swallow her anger and show her strength. She wanted to take this opportunity to show the prestige of the Modern Magic Department and the momentum of the El-Melloi classroom.
Seeing the El-Melloi classroom's attitude of starting a fight without a word, especially the arrogant kid pointing a gun at his head, Byron was a little panicked. But the identity of the head of the Izeluma family and the pride of Baru Yereta still supported him not to retreat, and he stared at Waver who was surrounded in the center.
"Can she represent you? Webber Velvet."
"Lenice's meaning is my meaning. Make your decision, Bailon Baruyereta Izeluma."
At this point, Weber certainly couldn't possibly ruin Lanis's plan, and he knew very well that Lanis was much better than him in this regard.
"Good, very good, El-Melloi classroom!!!"
Byron was so angry at Weber's arrogance that he could only breathe heavily. Suddenly, he shouted loudly.
"Estila!"
The girl whose name was called did something no one expected—she took off her veil.
Last night, Golden Lady and Silver Lady, who only covered their faces, caused such a shock. Afterwards, many people wondered how shocking it would be if they took off their veils.
Now, the answer is revealed.
Consciousness pauses.
Time stops.
The coordinates have lost their meaning.
All space-time continua seem to have lost their original integrity and coherence.
Because of the coming of "".
Not only human consciousness, but even lifeless clods of earth and drops of water are affected by this essence. If evolution means adapting to the environment, then this is the end of shapes and numbers that could lead to the extinction of the world.
In an instant, the tense atmosphere in the room disappeared, and the unfinished ritual also returned to nothingness. This is the meaning of "" - to let all things return to their original appearance.
Of course, all of this is based on a premise - seeing Shirogane-ji's face. Humans are visual animals, and if we fail to capture it visually, the impact will be greatly reduced.
Since he was facing away from Princess Shirogane, Byron was less affected. Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was distracted, Byron focused his attention and rushed towards Waver. His idea was simple: to subdue this group of arrogant guys and teach El-Melloi a lesson. This would let them know how powerful Izeluma was, and he could also take control of the incident.
To a noble, the head of a magus family, the dead are actually nothing, and the murderer is not that important either. What is important is what can be gained from this incident.
In essence, the appearance of Golden Princess and Silver Princess was no different from suppressing the El-Melloi Classroom, both were for the purpose of gaining benefits. As long as they could be forced to bow their heads, it would only be a matter of time before the El-Melloi Classroom and even the entire Modern Magic Department turned to Baru Yereta, and he could gain more and more from the main family.
The first target was undoubtedly Waver, he was the master of the classroom and the dean of the modern magic department. If they controlled him, others would not dare to act rashly.
This strategy was obviously correct, and using the beauty of the Silver Princess as a weapon was an unexpectedly clever move. But unfortunately, Bailong forgot one thing, or did not expect that such a thing would happen at all—someone could resist the beauty of the Silver Princess.
The beauty of Princess Shirogane can restore an incomplete spell or spirit to its original state. If the degree of completion is high enough, or even higher than Princess Shirogane's own, this beauty will naturally not have any impact.
Shinji, who was walking on the third path of magic, was such a person. Princess Shirogane's true appearance was reflected in his eyes, causing ripples that were quickly swallowed up by the light of the soul.
Byron's hurried figure did not escape his sight. The moment his hand was about to touch Weber's body, he was grabbed and kicked away.
"What—" The frightened Byron screamed instinctively, but was blocked by the black muzzle of the gun in front of him.
"I warn you that you'd better not move. The gun in my hand is the Thompson G2, one of the world's ten most powerful pistols. It has a 15-inch barrel and is loaded with .375 special bullets. It's called a pistol, but it actually uses the design of a rifle and its power is comparable to that of a rifle. Oh, you may not understand what I mean, so let me put it another way - as long as I pull the trigger, your head will explode like a rotten watermelon. Even magic seals can't save your life, unless you have the legendary immortality!"
Even though he was shaking with fear, Bailon still wanted to know the reason for his failure. "How could you—"
"You want to ask me how I didn't lose consciousness?" Shinji laughed, "Why should I tell you the answer? From the moment you attacked us, it was equivalent to Izeroma declaring war on us. I have no obligation to explain anything to the enemy. If I really have to explain, it should be in front of your corpse!"
"Ah~~~~~~~" At this moment, all the noble demeanor and pride of Izeroma were overwhelmed by the threat to life.
"Father!!!"
Princess Baiyin's call made everyone regain consciousness.
Shinji curled his lips in disappointment when he saw this, and glanced at the nominal backbone of the team out of the corner of his eye.
"Professor, Miss Lanis, he has already attacked us, can I kill him?"
"—Don't be so impatient, young man. Give me a chance to speak."
A new voice was heard in the room filled with murderous aura.
